Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before

This Appleton, WI homeowner had a large storage closet in the basement that repeatedly took on water during heavy rains. Moisture was entering where the foundation wall met the floor, leaving damp concrete, musty odors, and concerns about damaging anything stored in the space. During our inspection, we confirmed that groundwater was collecting along the footing and finding its way into the basement through the cove joint—a common issue in Wisconsin due to saturated soils and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. To provide a permanent basement waterproofing solution, we recommended installing the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along with a SuperSump Sump Pump System. These systems work together to collect groundwater before it reaches the basement floor and safely discharge it away from the home.

After

Our crew carefully removed a section of concrete around the perimeter of the closet and installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System just above the footing, where it can intercept water while remaining protected from soil and debris that commonly clog traditional drain tile systems. We then installed a SuperSump Sump Pump System inside the closet to efficiently remove collected groundwater from the home. After restoring the concrete floor, the homeowner was left with a clean, finished installation that protects the basement from future water intrusion while preserving valuable storage space.

In Black Creek, WI homeowners have been struggling with constant flooding in their basement every time a heavy rainfall came. Annoyed with their situation, they decided to call Sure-Dry and have us come out and take a look.

Within just a short time we were out looking at the situation at hand. We immediately took one look at their sump pump and new the problem right away, it was coverless and old. In order to stop the flooding, these homeowners need a pump that is able to discharge a ton of water in a short amount of time. So we provided our one of a kind TripleSafe Sump Pump which has three high powerful pumps to discharge water and in cases of power outages, there is a backup battery powered pump that will continue to discharge water out.

Before:
A homeowner preparing to remodel their basement discovered ongoing moisture issues that threatened their plans. Water had been seeping in along the wall-floor joint during heavy rain, leaving damp spots and a persistent musty odor. Without addressing the water intrusion first, finishing the space would have risked mold growth, damaged materials, and wasted investment.

After:
To permanently waterproof the space and create a dry foundation for remodeling, our team installed a WaterGuard® interior drainage system around the basement perimeter to capture groundwater before it reached the surface. The system was tied into a new UltraSump® pump system for dependable water removal, and a SaniDry™ dehumidifier was added to control humidity and maintain healthy air quality throughout the basement.

Now, the homeowner can move forward with their remodel confidently—knowing the basement is protected, dry, and built to stay that way.
